Page 10 Activating Your SonicWALL ESA 4300 Appliance
Your SonicWALL Email Security Appliance will perform better if
you follow proper shutdown procedures. To shut down your
appliance, use the web interface, or press the power button on
the front of the appliance once. Holding down the power button
or unplugging your appliance does not give it time to write all
the data from volatile memory in to stable memory, and you
may lose settings or data.
